Boy this thread is a real dandy. Now were stooping down to raking elementary school coaches over the coals. I bet these are some of the same Johnson County people that just cant figure out why Bill Mike has been able to kick your tails year in and year out. I dont like Bill Mike the person the first bit, but I would say that he would tell a bunch of you folks where you could go or what you could do with Little Freddy if you started this junk on him, and I guess in a way I have to respect him a little for that. I am really amused with some of the nuts that have posted on this one.

The way I have read this whole thread is that all of the kids that come out to play in Johnson County get a chance to play on a team somewhere because they do not cut players? Then when the final season tounament comes up when you are playing for all the marbles, then you are not supossed to play your best players, even after all of the kids on the team have played the whole year? I read into it that just because Freddy is a 6th grader that he should be playing overtop of a 5th grader named Tommy that might be better just for the only reason of that he is older and might be his last chance to play for his school? Someone please correct me if I am reading all of this wrong. What ever happened to earning what you work for? I have seen a lot of examples in the elementary level ( and older ages as well) where 5th grader Tommy has worked his tail off playing in the driveway all summer , fall and spring long and shot and shot and shot, and worked on his dribbling in the rain or the cold to try to become a better ball player because he loves to play while 6th grader Freddy sits in his room all year long playing video games, gets fat and out of shape and never picks a ball up until the season starts. And when Tommy just plains beats Freddy out from his hard work then mommy and daddy of Freddy blames it all on the coach, and it's all his fault. This is all just classic stuff. We are becoming socialistic more and more every day and this is just a classic example of how it all starts. Next thing you find Freddy one day trying to get that government check for doing nothing. It's being bread into our kids more and more every day.

I dont know this elementary coach any more from the man in the moon,but I do know that I would hate to have his job with the bunch of nutty parents that it sounds like he is having to deal with.

This is a great post!!! BTW, the only nutty ones I dealt with crossed the creek thank goodness!!:BigLaugh:
